Sorry forgot to mention that I already have nomodeset..
It seems it's not enough.
You should be able to rmmod them with nomodeset, the driver
doesn't do any initialisation in that case. though you
should boot to runlevel 3 as once X starts the hw will
be initialised.
Then you need to load radeon with modeset=1 to override it.
